Rendering: Frontier Airlines](https://pub-fac99da959e344fe99d810d309cef7df.r2.dev/photos/article/5c227b90-5039-492c-9f18-a45af3f242d0/54fe300fc4dc4fd79a580d4ad3d20a86.jpg)\n\nFrontier Airlines, the low-fare carrier known for charging separately for bags and seats, is now selling First Class. In [its Nov. 10 announcement](https://news.flyfrontier.com/frontier-opens-first-class-reservations-expands-cabin-transformation-with-more-extra-legroom-premium-seats-and-in-seat-power/), [Frontier](/airlines/f9) said reservations are open for new First Class seats on flights from March 5, 2027. Introductory First bundles start at $129 one way, and they include the seat, two checked bags, a carry-on and priority boarding.\n\nThe new seats sit in the first two rows. They come in pairs, two by two, with no middle seat and up to 37 inches of pitch. Behind them, rows three through eight become extra-legroom seats with up to 34 inches of pitch. Frontier says installation has begun and should be finished by March 5, 2027.\n\n## What you get for $129, and what you don't\n\nThe headline price is for a bundle, not a ticket. Frontier sells it as its \"First\" bundle, and its footnote says the bundle must be bought together with the flight. Read that as a price for the bundle added to your booking, and check the total at checkout, because the release does not spell out how the two prices combine. The airline lists exactly four things in it: the First Class seat, two checked bags, a carry-on bag and Board First priority boarding.\n\nThat is a real package for a Frontier flyer. On a normal Frontier fare, bags and seat choice cost extra. So the bundle folds several common fees into one price.\n\nThe release does not promise lie-flat beds, free meals, free drinks or lounge access. It does not mention a different meal service up front at all. If those matter to you, assume they are not included until Frontier says otherwise. Frontier does not run airport lounges, so First Class on Frontier is about the seat and the bags, not the airport.\n\nHere is how the two new bundles compare, based on Frontier's own list:\n\n| Bundle | Intro price, one way | Seat | Bags |\n| --- | ---: | --- | --- |\n| First | from $129 | First Class, rows 1 to 2 | Two checked, one carry-on |\n| Premium | from $90 | Extra legroom, rows 3 to 8 | One carry-on |\n\nBoth bundles include Board First priority boarding. Both prices are \"starting at\" figures. Frontier says the price is per person, per direction, and subject to availability.\n\n## The fine print on the intro price\n\nThe $129 and $90 prices come with tight rules. Frontier's footnote says you must buy the flight and the bundle together by 11:59 p.m. Eastern on Nov. 16, 2026. The deal covers only new bookings on FlyFrontier.com and the Frontier app.\n\nIt also covers a short travel window. The intro prices apply to nonstop domestic flights on select days of the week from March 5 through April 5, 2027. Frontier says not every market is available on every date. In other words, many routes and dates will not show the lowest price.\n\n```diagram\ntype: timeline\ntitle: Frontier's First Class rollout, by the airline's dates\nsource: [Frontier Airlines](https://news.flyfrontier.com/frontier-opens-first-class-reservations-expands-cabin-transformation-with-more-extra-legroom-premium-seats-and-in-seat-power/)\n---\n2026-11-10: Reservations open for First Class and extra-legroom seats\n2026-11-16: Last day to buy at the intro prices, 11:59 p.m. Eastern\n2027-03-05: First flights with the new seats; installation due to finish\n2027-04-05: Intro-price travel window ends\n2027: In-seat power and Starlink Wi-Fi roll out plane by plane\n```\n\n## More legroom behind the curtain, too\n\nFirst Class is only two rows. The bigger change may be the six rows behind it.\n\nFrontier says rows three through eight will have extra legroom, with up to 34 inches of pitch. Some of those rows will be \"UpFront Plus\" seats. Frontier says those guarantee an empty middle seat next to you. The Premium bundle starts at $90 one way, with the seat, a carry-on and Board First boarding.\n\nThe release does not say how many seats each plane will have after the change. It also does not say which aircraft get the new layout first. Check the seat map when you book.\n\n## Power and Starlink come later in 2027\n\nFrontier says USB-C power will come to every seat in the first eight rows. It also repeated its plan for Starlink Wi-Fi. Both start installing in 2027 and will appear \"aircraft by aircraft throughout the year,\" the airline said.\n\nThat means a March flight in First Class may not have power or Wi-Fi yet. The release does not say what Starlink will cost on board, or whether it will be free for anyone.\n\n\"First Class seating, more room to stretch out, in-seat power and fast, reliable Starlink Wi-Fi will bring a new level of comfort and convenience to flying with us,\" said Bobby Schroeter, Frontier's chief marketing officer, in the release.\n\n## Why a budget airline wants a front cabin\n\nFrontier's move fits a clear money trend. In its [third-quarter results](/news/frontier-q3-2026-average-fare-up-71-percent-record-revenue), Frontier said fare revenue per passenger jumped 71% in a year, to $67.82. It said it was adding First Class, Wi-Fi and better loyalty perks at the time.\n\nHere is the argument for why this matters. Low-cost airlines used to win by being the cheapest seat on the plane. Now many travelers will pay a bit more for room and fewer fees. If you were going to pay for two checked bags, a carry-on and a seat anyway, a bundle that folds those fees into one price can make sense. For a ski trip or a family move, that math may work.\n\nThe counter-argument is simple. A First Class seat on Frontier is still a Frontier flight. There is no lounge, and the release does not promise better food or service. If you want those, a full-service airline or [JetBlue's new BlueFirst](/news/jetblue-bluefirst-on-sale-30-routes-december-2026) may be a closer match.\n\n## What to do if you are tempted\n\n- Book by Nov. 16 if you want the intro price, and buy the bundle with the flight.\n- Look only at nonstop domestic flights from March 5 to April 5, 2027.\n- Compare the First bundle with a basic fare plus two checked bags on your route.\n- Do not count on power or Wi-Fi on a spring flight.\n- Read Frontier's contract of carriage, which the airline says still applies.\n\nFrontier's own words sum up the pitch: more comfort and choice, \"with the same low fares\" customers expect. Whether two rows of big seats change how people see Frontier will depend on the price on your route, not the intro headline.","link_base":"https://www.loungefrog.com/news/frontier-first-class-on-sale-129-two-bags-37-inches-march-2027","citation_guidance":"Cite citation_url.
